The honorable president of the Intergroup for Animal Rights and Environmental Protection: «As many studies in the field of criminology have now shown, those who commit gratuitous acts of violence against an animal can also carry them out against human beings”
«This is why we need more severe penalties for those who kill animals unnecessarily. The case, reported by Centopercentoanimalisti, of the one-year-old Australian shepherd, adopted by a lady from Lozzo Atestino (Padua) and brutally killed on Friday afternoon with five rifle shots: a dog that did not bother anyone and had only gone to go for a run on the fields. Someone, for reasons that the investigations will establish, ended his life as if nothing had happened. We will do everything possible to ensure that this criminal is punished as he deserves. But the penal code must change if we want to give penalties a deterrent force.” Thus the Honorable Michela Vittoria Brambilla (We Moderates), president of the Parliamentary Intergroup for Animal Rights and Environmental Protection, first signatory and rapporteur of the AC30, a “transversal” law proposal that stiffens the penalties for those who kill and mistreats animals, currently being examined by the House Judiciary Committee.
«This criminal – concludes Brambilla – by shooting, could have injured other people or a child, but not only that: as many studies in the field of criminology have now shown, those who commit gratuitous acts of violence against an animal can also carry them out harm to humans. Also for this reason I ask all political forces for a gesture of responsibility in approving my bill for more severe penalties.”
